The Lucid Air is powered by two electric motors in the first versions built, with a single- and three-motor versions expected to follow. The Dream Edition is said to produce up to 1,080 horsepower. All that power enables the car to rocket 0-60 mph in just 2.5 seconds and cross the quarter-mile in under 10 seconds, according to Lucid.
Those motors are energized with a 113-kWh, lithium-ion battery pack. The company says it has achieved 517 miles of range, based on the EPA methodology. It credits this large figure to lessons learned over 20 million real-world development miles and from supplying batteries through its subsidiary Atieva to the Formula E electric-car racing series since 2018.
The Lucid Air relies on a 900-volt electric architecture, enabling the car to charge quickly, taking on 300 miles of range in just 20 minutes, using DC fast chargers. For contrast, the most common Tesla V2 superchargers can restore 50 percent of the battery capacity in 30 minutes for the Long Range versions of the Model 3, S, and X—about 160–200 miles in a half hour.
The 19.2-kW onboard charger is said to be compatible with most public charging, including the growing 350-kW, Level 3 fast-charging network. The car will come with three years of free, unlimited charging with the Electrify America 350-kW network.
The Lucid Air will come with a mobile charging cord that can be used in any wall outlet. The company will offer its own bi-directional home charging station that can charge the car at off-peak times, and it can use the car to provide temporary power to the house during a power outage. (The company is also developing home and business battery-based energy storage solutions.)
